To all the GCDOC members in this group! Last week I put your service vouchers in an accordion file in the Obedience cabinet. The file is next to the trays for the board and It is a light blue. The vouchers are alphabetized by your last name. 

For board members, you have 5 Blue Ribbon vouchers (1 per session) in small sandwich bags in my Membership tray. 

Cleaning committee, Land and turf maintenance also have Blue Ribbon and service vouchers in another large sandwich bag.

All service vouchers and Blue Ribbon vouchers have your last name on the back of the voucher.

Please pick up your vouchers as soon as possible.

GIVING TUESDAY! Eastway Boys Christmas 2023!

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

Happy Holidays!!

It’s that time year again Gem City Dog Club will be providing a little Christmas cheer for the Eastway Boys Group Home next to Gem City’s Dog Club Building on Northcutt.  Each year we try to provide some Christmas gifts or a large gift that all the boys can enjoy throughout the year.  We will be accepting donations made out to Gem City Dog Obedience Club.  Last year we were able to purchase 2 table top gaming systems and 25 board games and puzzles. Carole Lenehan, Mary Beam & Terri Hendrix will be organizing this endeavor. 

Please contact Terri Hendrix at [email protected] with your donation amount so we know what to budget for this year.  Thank you.
